ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.
ANNIVERSARY SERVICES. Special services to coinnieniovate the 63rd anniversary were held at St. Paul's Presbyterian Church yesterday, wheu the Rev. Tulloeh Tuille, o£ Knox Church, Dunedin, was the preacher. Mr Yuille took as his text for the morning service Samuel 10, v. 11 and 12. There was, the preacher said, a tendency to judge a man's religion by his pedigree. Heligion was akin to the spirit of democracy, which was not a political conviction, but a widespread creed open to all.. In the evening Mr Yuille spoke on the personal religion of youth, taking as his subject' matter lettors written to him by Otago University students in answer to his question as to the difficulties of the Christian religion. The chief difficulty, he found, was not intellectual,- but practical—the failing to see a sense of reality in religion. Religion could never be vital until people came to some kind of decision as to who Jo*us of Nazareth was. The preacher appealed for a study of the New Testament in «rder that people might loam to know Him.
